Nascar Driver Enters Pit Box Backwards And Makes Greatest Pit Stop Ever

Brad Keselowski made a bit of an error on the way into the pits at Talladega but it seemed to turn out pretty well

Keselowski was entering the pits when he seemed to lock his rear wheels, causing him to spin 180 degrees. Incredibly, instead of being a total nightmare of a situation, he somehow managed to slide perfectly into his pit box. In fact, it was so on the money that instead of wasting time turning him around, his team simply carried out a perfectly legal ‘backwards’ pit stop before sending him on his way again.

OK, so it cost him a few positions but still - nicely done!

With Talladega being a restrictor plate race there’s always the potential for ‘The Big One’ and indeed, on the last lap, Kyle Larson was sent into an endless series of barrel rolls after being tagged by the car of Williams Byron.

Everyone involved was OK, but the combination of the massive crash and debris elsewhere on the track brought the race to a finish, with Chase Elliot claiming the victory.

if anything has to spin out “near the crowd”, it has to be a mustang.

I love how the pit crew panicked for a second, but as soon as the car stopped though “Oh… ok cool, well that’s the side we wanted to work on anyway.” and carried on as normal
